I like Verbier. Would probably stay a town or two over to save money if I went back. But that place has the steeps everywhere you look.

Chamonix is good but everything isn't 'fair game' quite as much as Verbier more crevasses and everythings not quite as connected. Haven't skiied St Anton. Only been to Serre Chevalier other than those 2 which is good but its the furthest big resort south and not as reliable for snow.

Val Thorens and the 3 valles was pretty cool when i went in the spring. Val d'Isere and Tignes also have massive amounts of terrain and decent park set up.

Just go to Innsbruck. It's in the middle of the Alps, one of the best ski communities in europe and soo many options to ski: the two local resorts (Nordkette and Patscherkofel), glaciers (Stubai, Kaunertal and Hintertux) and a lot of different smaller resorts during the winter (Mayrhofen, Serfaus, Ehrwald, Ischgl) and the best parks in europe not too far away (Absolut Park, Kitzsteinhorn, LAAX and Seiser Alm)

Lech is the Tits McGhee. Very consistent snow and good yearly totals. The interconnecting resorts and lift system makes it a fucking gigantic amount of acreage to ski.

La Clusaz is pretty dope. Just avoid the local/popular holiday weeks so it's not packed
